Alfa Romeo Spider 1969

Comments

Nice model. The headlights (or rather their fairing) and the tail lights are inserted. The front turn signals, the Alfa Romeo acronyms are painted very finely, as well as the surrounding windscreen. The black interior is enhanced by a varnished wood colour steering wheel. The mirrors are inserted.

At the base of the lighthouse fairings, there is a curious outgrowth that seems to represent the attachment of these fairings, as in this picture (author: Mick from Northamptonshire, England, on Wikimedia). But this representation is much too big, and it would have been better not to put anything at all.

The respect of the scale is at least approximate: the model is too short and too low. The wheels are really too small.
